The electron closest to the nucleus has the lowest energy level. Since electrons are attracted to the nucleus, it takes energy to make them orbit at a greater distance (and even more energy to remove them from orbit entirely).

What electron has the greatest binding energy?

The electron in the innermost shell (closest to the nucleus) has the greatest binding energy. This is because electrons in inner shells experience a stronger electrostatic attraction from the positively charged nucleus, leading to higher binding energies to keep them in orbit.


In what atoms is the 2s orbital closest to the nucleus?

The electrons in the 2p subshell have more energy than those in the 2s subshell, that is energy per electron.See Wikipedia 'Electron Shells' for more on this subject.


When atoms are split which part of the atom is energy released?

nucleus. the nucleus gets the energy and the realises it to the protons and the electrons.


Of what are atoms composed?

Atoms are composed of protons, neutrons, and electrons. Protons and neutrons are found in the nucleus of the atom, while electrons orbit the nucleus in energy levels.


How electrons in an atoms organize?

Electrons occupied certain discrete energy levels around the nucleus.


In atoms what energy is equal numbers of electrons and protons there is a?

In atoms, the energy associated with having equal numbers of protons and electrons is the electric potential energy. This energy arises from the electrostatic attraction between the positively charged protons in the nucleus and the negatively charged electrons in orbit around the nucleus.


Energy levels in an atom?

In an atom, electrons can occupy different energy levels, or orbits, around the nucleus. Electrons in the lowest energy level are closest to the nucleus and have the lowest energy, while electrons in higher energy levels are farther from the nucleus and have higher energy. Electrons can move between energy levels by absorbing or emitting energy in the form of photons.


Where are the core electrons located?

Core electrons are located in the inner electron shells of an atom, closest to the nucleus. These electrons are tightly bound to the nucleus and are not typically involved in chemical reactions or bonding with other atoms.


Where do you find the electrons in atoms?

In energy shells around and outside the nucleus of an atom!!!!


What the is energy levels in an atom?

1. Atoms do not have energy levels unlike particles like electrons etc.2. The lowest energy for atoms will be 0 at absolute zero temp of 0 deg Kelvin.3. For electrons in all atoms lowest energy is that of 2 electrons nearest to the nucleus.


Do all atom nucleus have electrons?

All atoms have electrons, but not in the nucleus.
